March Promises

Dogwood trees are now in bloom,
jots of color in winter's gloom,
white and plum and palest pink,
against gray backdrops, out of sync.

How I love the month of March!
Like silk opposed to winter's starch.
Robins bounce across the grass,
a sign, for sure, that winter's passed.

The winds of March soon sweep away
all that's dull and brown and gray.
A child of March, I feel reborn,
as Spring flies in, on Marchwind's-borne.

This is wonderful. My son is born in March a Pisces and my husband well he slides in there at the end as a March Aries. Happy Birthday! I look forward to these beautiful signs of spring and the warm air that shall follow not far behind
